8 Function of DUOX-mediated ROS in airway epithelial cells -DUOX 1 regulates MUC5AC mucin expression in human airway epithelial cells (Shao et al., PNAS, 25) - DUOX1 regulates production of inflammatory mediators such as IL-8 in response to environmental or bacterial stimuli (Koff et al., Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol, 28), (Boots et al., JBC, 29) - DUOX2 is the major contributor to H 2 O 2 synthesis induced by bacterial stimuli (Gattas et al., Free Radic Biol Med, 29)

9 Role of ROS in allergic airway inflammation - ROS generated by Pollen NADPH oxidase augments allergic airway inflammation (Boldogh et al., J Clin Invest, 25) -Tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 regulates development of allergic airway inflammation by controlling intracellular ROS level (Cho et al., Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol, 28) -Level of H 2 O 2 is increased in exhaled breath from patients with inflammatory airway diseases (Baldwin et al., Lancet, 1986), (Kietzmann et al., Intensive Care Med, 1993), (Fischer, Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, 29)

21 Interaction between epithelial cells and Dendritic cells (DCs) in allergic inflammation - β-glucan in HDM induces CCL2 production in human bronchial epithelial cell line (Nathan et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol, 29) - Production of CCL2 induces recruitment of myeloid DCs and memory CCR6+CD4+ cells into the airways, which lead to allergic asthma (Lukacs et al., J Exp Med, 21) - CCL2 expression level is up-regulated in nasal mucosa from allergic rhinitis patients (Wu et al., Am j of otolaryngology, 29) Clare M LIoyd.

37 Allergic diseases Allergic disease is the 5th leading chronic disease among all ages 3rd common chronic disease among children under 18 years old; up to one child in three is affected Trends indicate that by 215, half of all westerns may be suffering from an allergy

38 Allergic rhinitis Definition Rhinitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose. Allergic rhinitis involves reactions in the nasal mucosa from repeated allergen exposures that causes hypersensitivity Systemic symptoms of allergic rhinitis - Runny nose - Nasal obstruction - sneezing - Fatigue - Difficulty concentrating - Decreased appetite

39 Allergic rhinitis and coexistent airway diseases Otitis Media Upper Respiratory infection Allergic rhinitis Nasal Polyposis Asthma Sinusitis

40 Research needs on allergic rhinitis and asthma To identify the causes of the increasing prevalence, which might lead to prevention - risk factors, epidemiology- To define the exact mechanisms causing allergic symptoms, which could lead to better treatments - disease mechanisms, management-
